This is only for Thank you again, from what you know from the last messages, would it be acceptable from a legal point

Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.

So now we have two questions going. But that's OK because we can talk about the child support here and the other issues on the other post because I've already asked you about that there.

In terms of child support, where will the children live. Will they be with you half the time? Does your spouse have income?

If you each have a children half the time then you work out what do you have to pay based on your gross annual income and what she had to pay based in hers.

If she's being paid by other people then of course that counts as her income. And because she's likely pocketing that and not paying tax on it she had to gross up that amount to make it equal to what it would be if this was her net and not her gross income.

She doesn't get more support because she decides that she should homeschool the children.

If you are not a strong proponent of homeschooling perhaps this should end. It would seem to me that she has obligations of a financial nature and that she should be earning a regular income rather than homeschooling your children unless you feel there's value to it.

It certainly can't be used by her to get more child support!

100%.

That is the whole point. She cannot be intentionally unemployed or intentionally under-employed or the court will impute income to her.

Life has to change now. Things cannot be the same when a marital relationship breaks down. There are two households they have to be supported. So she doesn't have the luxury of not working.

Anytime.
